Glow Plug Problems. VE ERR
The glow plug in your engine must
be replaced periodically to
maintain peak performance and
easy starting. Most starting
problems or erratic performance
can be traced back to the glow
plug. The easiest way to check for a faulty glow plug is to
simply install a new one and see if the problem is corrected.
However, to test the glow plug, remove the glow plug form
the cylinder
head with a 5/16" nut driver (make sure there is no dirt
on top of the head which could fall into the engine. Do not lose
the copper gasket which seals the glow plug.)
Connect the glow plug to the glow igniter. All of the coils should
glow bright white. Sometimes, the first few coils will not glow,
while the rest are bright orange. This indicates a bad glow plug
or low igniter battery. Try recharging the igniter, or replacing
the glow plug.

Flooding 5I fit
Symptoms of a flooded engine include difficulty in starting,
muffled sounds coming from the exhaust, pull starter won't
operate, and excess fuel draining from the exhaust outlet.
Remove the glow plug with a 5/16" nut driver and also remove
the air cleaner. Turn the car upside down and pull the starter
a couple of times to drain the excess fuel out of the engine
and carburetor. Re-install the glow plug and try starting again.

Fuel Mixture ZEE SE
The fuel mixture is controlled by three different adjustments
on the carburetor, and should come preset from the factory
(see photos below). Your engine should
start and run slightly rich with these settings (rich is good
for break-in).
Tuning Tip: Always make sure you can see some exhaust
smoke coming out of the exhaust outlet during operation.
This is a good sign that enough fuel is getting to the engine.
